20. The confession came


Bian pulled my hand sitting on the chair next to him. Our position and Cahya face off.


"Me and Orchid are currently in a relationship..".


"Good relationship, Cahya. What are you gonna order, Bian?". I cut Bian's talk I can't hear Bian's follow-up line even though I don't know what he's going to say.


"I'm guessing there's no way she's your boyfriend?". Cahya sipped coffee in front of him with a satisfied look.


"You're sober". Bian leaned his body on the chair, his arms crossed. He stared hard at Cahya.


Cahya looked at both of us and then she stood up. Looks like he doesn't care about the word ketus Bian. Cahya took her bag in style I have to admit to the problem of keeping her weight Cahya is still a champion. Her body remains as slim as it was in single times. A hint of envy rattled at the thought of the fat at the waist.


"I'd better go home first maybe now you don't need a job but who knows tomorrow". Cahya gave a meaningful smile. Passed in front of me and Bian. The coercion of Cahya and Adiwarna for Me to work back with them made Me tickle. They think I am a fairy who can help their current business difficulties.


My eyes glare at trying to remember all the efforts of Adiwara. Why are they so sure my involvement will provide a way out on Adiwara's efforts. Wasn't the time before Me and Adiwarna pioneered the business with more Adiwarna portions.


My daydreams were spoiled when the clerk came to deliver Bian's order. Chicken noodles and black coffee, I was too washed away in the thought of Cahya and Adicolor to forget about Bian.


"Don't I say you must be drinking coffee here?". Bian looked towards me.


"You said Danar would be hooked not me, Nggrek". Bian answered flatly it turned out that he had a good memory.


"Hehee's sorry".


"That's Cahya, your best friend. So you want to work with them again?". Bian looked at both of my eyes looking for answers in them it seemed like he was a typical person who believed eyes could not lie. I also refused to ask him where he knew the problem of Me and Cahya.


Since the viral case how long ago. I'm reluctant to find out the people who know my personal life. Sharing our personal lives on social media a little more also makes privacy not as awake as it used to be.


"Tentu tidak". Aku menjawab singkat memalingkan wajah dari Bian lalu beranjak hendak meninggalkan kursi. Bian menarik tangan membuat Ku terhenyak.


"Kamu menarik Ku dari pintu masuk, menyeret di hadapan Cahya lalu dengan santai meninggalkan Ku begitu saja. Duduk dan temani Aku". Bian mengeluarkan kalimat perintah.


Aku melongo sekian detik mendengar kalimat panjang dari mulut diam Bian. Aku menghempaskan diri di kursi. Iya Bian benar rasanya tidak sopan meninggalkan dia begitu saja.


"Anggrek, kenapa tadi kamu menjawab pertanyaan Cahya saat dia menanyakan siapa Aku?".


"Biar tidak ada kesalahpahaman saja". Aku menjawab singkat. Entah kenapa hari ini harus berurusan dengan pertanyaan dan pertanyaan. Bebas dari Cahya harus berurusan dengan Bian.


"Aku tak masalah jika kamu mengakui Aku sebagai pacar mu, Nggrek". Bian menatap Ku yang masih menentramkan jantung yang berdetak tak karuan. Sadar Nggrek dia hanya membantu mu. Jangan GR.


"Aku gak bisa bohong, Bian. Kita kan cuma teman".


"Bukan teman juga tidak apa-apa. Sudahlah lupakan saja omongan Ku barusan". Bian melambaikan tangan seakan kalimat tadi hanya berupa pernyataan tanpa arti.


Aku tersenyum canggung terlebih beberapa pegawai dan pengunjung tampak berminat melihat Aku dan Bian. Paras tampan Bian begitu mencolok bersanding dengan diriku".


"Sepertinya mantan mu belum terbiasa dengan ritme kerja sendirian". Bian mengambil sumpit lalu dengan santai memberikan Aku sumpit dan tisu.


"Eh maksudnya apa ini?". Aku memandang heran pada sumpit dan tisu yang berada di hadapan Ku saat ini.


"Yes on lap dong, Nggrek. I've helped you". I grumbled to pick up chopsticks and tissue. His attitude just made me forget that this man he was before Me could behave as he wished.


"Your question about the rhythm of that work. Where do I know about that. Adiwaraga doesn't say anything if you want to know ask her yourself".


"All right, I'll ask". I chuckled at Bian's reply. The face was flat again, he was indeed strange when we were in a familiar conversation.


********


All day long I made the mistake of remembering about Cahya and Bian. The attitude of Adiwarna and Cahya forced Me to join them made me wonder. They were too high to expect that My involvement in their efforts would restore stability.


During my time with Adiwara, I helped a lot with Cafe Adiwara. In the past when pioneering the beginning of the 'Traditional atmosphere' restaurant, one of Adiwarna business with traditional cuisine menu.


Adi just contracted the terrace of a shophouse. The shop in the morning and afternoon is used for children's learning courses. At night the shop floor is used for fried rice carts. At that time there were only tables and mats held as well as several tables and chairs.


In between the busyness of I went to college, I accompanied Adi to the market and helped his mother sort vegetables that were decent and not. At that time we were in college, on campus I was promoting to friends.


Friendly prices according to the pockets of students make the business in demand. I'm also the one who is looking for a fried rice cook, with the cook we mix a good seasoning.


Adicolor then rented a small contract that had a large yard. That's where the food stall was started. Initially in the form of a simple place to eat with fried rice menu then more and more visitors to the menu also increased with various variants.


At that time Adiwarna graduated from college. He finished the other strata faster. Adi is smart.


Likewise with Adiwarna snack shop. Of the spicy chips, I was the most active in encouraging and accompanying Adiwara to attend the exhibition.helping Ibu Adiwara find employees in the kitchen.


Adiwara business is indeed started from a simple effort but Adiwara's skill in managing finances makes his small business growing.


"Mom.. I can let you go home first. Not feeling good". Andi one of my officers disperse the reverie of memory about Adiwarna.


"Oh yes Andi. Sick?".


"It looks like Mom if tomorrow is not better I don't get permission to go to work first yes, Mom".


"Yes, let's hear it tomorrow".


"Good Mom". I watched Andi's back until it disappeared out of the kitchen door leading to the shophouse's backyard.


Conditions like this sometimes worry me. At the moment any symptoms should be watched out for. Deheman's voice made me turn away.


"You pay". The voice of a customer seemed unfriendly from in front of the cashier. I was in a position between the kitchen room's door and the cashier's table. Soon I'm heading for the empty cashier table. Andi the cashier's clearance is back. This day, I will replace her position.


Rushing I serve customers with this unfriendly face. Half-mask covered, his face still looked unfriendly.


"I'm sorry this is a wrapped order left behind". He looked at me and said sniffle


" Throw away".


I'm in shock, geez, today's fucked up. Just saw the customer eat voraciously and then add portions to pack and take home. Uh now the order is told to be thrown out.


I grunt. There is-there is today, interacting with many people then the more character and individual nature I see.


One day passed, I went home tired. My pink room has called. A place that will restore my depleted energy at the end of the day.
